Soccer game preview: Home fans with big hopes before Flekkerøy - Rosenborg II

The hosts Flekkerøy saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the 2. Division. This match was also played here at Arkicon Arena Flekkerøy. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Rosenborg II have had more rest.

These teams have little in common geographically as Rosenborg II have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Flekkerøy form and stats

Flekkerøy's struggle is real here at Arkicon Arena Flekkerøy with only 10 points collected from 11 2. Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-7-3. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The spoils were shared in Flekkerøy's previous game, also at home. Visiting Kjelsås (placed 9th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. A. Richstad was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Kjelsås after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Prior to that, an away loss at Levanger.

Flekkerøy has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Flekkerøy have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Rosenborg II form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Rosenborg II so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-9 (win-draw-lose). Rosenborg are desperate to end a 17-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Levanger fixture.

Rosenborg II lost away at Arendal (2-9) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Arendal was particularly ugly (2-9). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss against Nardo was the result prior to that, in a home game.

With the team playing at home given a victory chance of approximately 80% by the bookies, any useful result for the visiting team would be a surprise. Examining previous matches with similar odds and Rosenborg as the visiting side, we found three results. The data from these were zero away wins, one draw and two defeats. The visitors lost one of these games by a margin of at least two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rosenborg II as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Rosenborg defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 43 goals in their away games. It's worth mentioning that 22 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
